Lisbon

Lisboa é boa*. Yeah, Lisbon is good at very long distance of dreams. The shivering traveler pulls up his hood: it seems that the traveller misunderstood what’s autumn in Portugal. Streams of water run volubly down the steep streets, the wind searches pockets and sleeve, the sheets hung to dry do not differ from sheets of rain… That’s what happens when fantasy meets reality and both leave. (port.) Lisbon is good.
